Lupin was already in his memory. Yaxi walked to the door and looked bored.

"In those days, my transformation process was very terrible. Being a person who could turn into a wolf was very painful. I was separated from humans, so I could only scratch and bite myself. The villagers heard my howling and regarded it as a sound from a barbaric elves. Dumbledore fueled this rumor. Even now, although the house has been quiet for many years, the villagers still dare not approach it..."

"But except for the days when I became a wolf, I was happy, happy all the time I had spent before, because the first time I had friends, many friends, Sirius Black, Petr, of course, Harry, and your dad-James Potter."

"Soon after, all three of my good friends have noticed that I'm missing once a month. I made up all kinds of stories, and I told them that my mom was sick and I had to go home to take care of her...I was afraid that when they knew about me, they would abandon me. But of course, they were like you, Hermione, who discovered the truth of the matter..."

"But they did not abandon me. Instead, they did their best to figure out ways to make my transformation process not only unbearable, but also the best time in my life. They all became Animagus."

"Same is my father?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's true," Lupin said. "They spent three years

28e5

90e8 points to find solutions. Your dad and Black are the smartest students in the school, and thankfully, because the transformation from human to animal may be completely beyond control - that's why the minister must stick to these attempts closely. Peter needs all the help James and Black can provide. Finally, in the fifth year, they succeeded!"

"But how do they help you?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"As humans, they can't stay with me, but after becoming beasts, they can become a group with me," Lupin said. "A wolf-turned is only harmful to humans. Every month, they will sneak out of the castle with the help of James' invisible cloak. They will transform... Peter, as the smallest, can slide under the willow tree and open the mechanism that is opened. Then, they crawl from the tunnel and meet me. Under their influence, I become less dangerous. My body is still in a wolf-shaped shape, and my mind has gradually lost its wolf-like nature."

"We're almost here, we're almost here, and Black is excited to present us, and we can transform. Soon we're leaving the screaming house and wandering around the school and the village while the night is dark. Black and James are so huge that they can put humans and wolves under control, I wonder if there are any students in Hogwarts who know more about Hogwarts than we do.

"They became animals?" Harry asked, but Hermione interrupted him.

"But this is still dangerous! Running around with a man and wolf in the dark, what if you bite someone else?"

"There is an idea that still bothers me," Lupin said heavily. "There are many female teachers living there, and we later used them as jokes. At that time, we were still young and not very sensible-"

"Sometimes, I felt guilty for betraying Dumbledore's trust... When the other principals dared not accept me, he allowed me to enter Hogwarts. At that time, he did not expect that I would violate the rules he set for me and others' safety. He would never know that I was causing three classmates to illegally become Animagus. Every time, I always tried my best to get rid of the guilt in my heart. We made plans for the next adventure, and I never changed..."

Lupin's face became stiff, his voice filled with disgust for himself. "I've been fighting myself all year long. I wondered if I should tell the principal that Black had to be a human to an animal. But I didn't, why? Because I was a coward. That would mean that I betrayed his trust and admitted that I led them with me... and that Dumbledore's trust meant everything to me. He allowed me to enter Hogwarts in my childhood, and he gave me a job, and when my adult life was confused, at that time, because of the werewolf, I couldn't find a job to get paid. So, I convinced myself that Black entered Hogwarts because of the evil witchcraft he learned at Voldemort, and that his transformation from a human to an animal had nothing to do with it. In short, everything Snape said about me was right."

"Snape," Black asked, sternly, looking away from the spots, and looking at Lupin for the moment, "What does Snape have to do with this?"

"Professor Snape was at school and was with us. He used to strongly oppose me as a post in black witchcraft. That year he kept telling Dumbledore that I couldn't trust. He had his reasons, you know Black had played pranks on him and almost killed him, and I had a share at that time."

Black made a mocking voice, "He deserved it," he said mockingly, "grinning his teeth everywhere, trying to find out who we are, and trying to drive us out of school."

"Snape is very interested in where I go every month," Lupin told Harry, Ron and Hermione. "You know, we are in the same grade, and we don't like each other very much. He especially hates James. I think that's because of jealousy, because of the talent James showed on Quidditch..."

"Anyway, one night he had seen Mrs. Pomfrey and I cross the clearing, and at that time, I took her to the Willow to transform. Black thought it would be quite wonderful to tell her to follow me by just hitting the knot on the trunk with a long stick. Of course, Black did so. If he had walked close enough to the house, he would have encountered a mature werewolf. But your dad saw everything Black did, and at the critical moment he caught up with Snape and pulled him back. But Snape saw me, at the end of the tunnel. Although he was strictly prohibited from leaking the matter, he had known my secret from that time."

"That's why Snape doesn't like you," Harry said slowly. "He thinks you're here just because of a joke?"

"No." A cold voice came from behind Lupin.
